DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Embodiments of the present invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a first embodiment of the present invention. FIGS. 2A-2D are schematic views of the first embodiment of the present invention when in use. As shown in the figures, the present invention discloses a mobile device and computer device stand 1 used for a mobile device/computer device 2. The mobile device and computer device stand 1 comprises a second platy body 11, a first platy body 12, and a support piece 13. One side of the second platy body 11 is connected to the back of the mobile device and computer device 2. One end of one side of the first platy body 12 is connected to one end of another side of the second platy body 11. The first platy body 12 is bendable relative to the second platy body 11. The middle portion of the first platy body 12A is formed with a hole 121. A support portion 122 is disposed on the first platy body 12. The support portion 122 is located at one end of the first platy body 12 opposite to the end connected to the second platy body 11. The support piece 13 is disposed in the hole 121. The support piece 13 has a fold line 131. The support piece 13 is divided into a first portion 132 and a second portion 133 by the fold line 131. The second portion 133 is connected to the support portion 122, so that the support piece 13 is bendable relative to the first platy body 12.
FIG. 2A shows an implementation of this embodiment. In use, the user controls the first platy body 12 and the support piece 13 to be in a bent state. The first portion 132 passes through the hole 121 to form an intersecting state with the first platy body 12 (please refer to FIG. 2B), and then the second portion 133 and the support portion 122 are placed on a plane. At this time, the mobile device and computer device 2 stands on the plane in an inclined manner. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 2, the length of the first portion 132 is greater than that of the second portion 133, so that the angle of inclination of the mobile device and computer device 2 when placed on the plane is relatively greater for the user to touch the mobile device and computer device 2 easily.
The first platy body 12 is made of a flexible material, such as plastic, elastic metal sheet, leather, and the like. In this embodiment, the material of the second platy body 11 and the first platy body 12 is leather. The support piece 13 is integrally formed with the first platy body 12. In this way, the second platy body 11 and the first platy body 12 have a certain deformation, and the integral feature enables the user to operate the first platy body 12 and the support piece 13 easily. Moreover, a magnetic member 14 is provided in each of the support portion 122 and the second platy body 11. Through the magnetic members 14, the first platy body 12 can be closely attached to the second platy body 11 when there is no need to support the mobile device and computer device 2. The first platy body 12 and the support piece 13 will not be separate from each other randomly to be in a bent state, thereby improving the practicality of the invention. As shown in FIG. 2B, the user may install a plurality of mobile device and computer device stands 1 on the mobile device and computer device 2 to increase the stability of the mobile device and computer device 2.
FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B are schematic views of another implementation of the first embodiment of the present invention when in use. As shown in the figures, this implementation provides another support mode compared to the above implementation. In use, the user controls the first platy body 12 and the support piece 13 to be in a bent state. The first portion 132 passes through the hole 121 to form an intersecting state with the first platy body 12, and then the support portion 122 leans against the first platy body 12. Finally, the fold line 131 of the support piece 13 is placed against a plane, and the mobile device and computer device 2 stands on the plane in an inclined manner.
It can be seen from FIG. 2A and FIG. 3B that the mobile device and computer device 2 is placed on the plane in an inclined manner, allowing the mobile device and computer device 2 to have different angles of inclination. Through the same structure but in different bent modes, the user can choose the angle of inclination of the mobile device and computer device 2 to further enhance the diversity and practicality of the invention.
FIG. 4A is a perspective view of another implementation of the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4B is a schematic view of another implementation of the first embodiment of the present invention when in use. As shown in the figures, the size of the mobile device and computer device stand is about the size of a general tablet computer. The mobile device and computer device stand is attached to the back of a large mobile device and computer device for supporting the large mobile device on a plane.
FIG. 5A is a perspective view of a second embodiment of the present invention. FIGS. 5B-5D are schematic views of the second embodiment of the present invention when in use. As shown in the figures, in this embodiment, the support piece 13 has a first fold line 1311 and a second fold line 1312. The support piece 13 is divided into a first portion 132, a second portion 133 and a third portion 134 by the first fold line 1311 and the second fold line 1312. The third portion 134 is connected to the support portion 122. In use, the embodiment has two bent modes. FIG. 5B and FIG. 5C illustrate a first bent mode of the embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5B, when the first platy body 12 and the support piece 13 are in a bent state, the first portion 132, the second portion 133 or the third portion 134 passes through the hole 121 to form at least one intersecting state with the first platy body 12 (as shown in FIG. 5C). When the third portion 134 and the support portion 122 are placed on a plane, the mobile device and computer device 2 stands on the plane in an inclined manner. FIG. 5D illustrates a second bent mode of the embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5D, when the first platy body 12 and the support piece 13 are in a bent state, the second fold line 1312 leans against the support portion 122 so that the mobile device and computer device 2 stands on a plane in an inclined manner.
In summary, through the relative arrangement of the second platy body 11, the first platy body 12 and the support piece 13 of the present invention, the mobile device and computer device 2 can stand on a plane, which is convenient for use. Moreover, the mobile device and computer device stand 1 is small in size, and the operability of the structural deformation is improved, so that the user can use the mobile device and computer device stand 1 more conveniently, further increasing the convenience of use.
It is worth mentioning that the second platy body 11 of the invention is not an indispensable technical feature. In some embodiments, the mobile device and computer device stand 1 of the present invention comprises a first platy body and a support piece. The middle portion of the first platy body is formed with a hole. A support portion is disposed on the first platy body. The support portion is located at one end of the first platy body. The support piece is disposed in the hole. The support piece has at least one fold line. The support piece is bendable relative to the first platy body. One end of the support piece is connected to the support portion. In this embodiment, a portion of one side of the first platy body is connected to the back of the mobile device and computer device, and the other portion is bendable relative to the mobile device and computer device. The other technical features are the same as the first embodiment or the second embodiment of the present invention.
Although particular embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail for purposes of illustration, various modifications and enhancements may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the present invention is not to be limited except as by the appended claims.
